We’ve just raised $175M, in a round co-led by @paradigm, @a16zcrypto, and @RibbitCapital, the largest raise DeFi has ever seen.
Credit is the bedrock of our civilization, but the infrastructure underneath is fragmented, extractive, and closed to most of the world. That is what @Morpho is here to change.
Morpho is building the open credit network for the world. The global credit market is $ 200T. We are building the infrastructure layer that will move it onchain, and every institution, fintech, and bank that wants to participate in the next era of finance will connect to this network.
After four years of being heads down building Morpho, we now count more than $11B in deposits and integrations with leading financial institutions including @Coinbase, @Binance, @FireblocksHQ, @SG_Forge, @krakenfx, @Bitwise, and dozens of others building on Morpho to offer better products to their users. But this is just the beginning.
This raise will allow us to accelerate: activating the global credit network at scale, building the go-to-market engine to match our ambition, and bringing more institutions onto the network faster.
Having any kind of onchain strategy in this era will mean going through Morpho at some point. Reach out and let's talk. And if you want to help build the open credit network for the world, we have plenty of open roles.
Let’s fly 🦋
i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill
it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results
but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me
We just lost Ondo Finance founder Nathan Allman, a silent builder of our modern infrastructure.
> Born in 1994.
> Raised by the ocean in Honolulu, Hawaii.
> Spent his university years sailing, navigating the winds with the Brown University varsity team.
> Graduated with a degree in Economics and Biology.
> Entered the intense world of Wall Street.
> Worked in private credit, then joined Goldman Sachs on their early Digital Assets team.
> Saw the massive gap between traditional finance and the decentralized on-chain world.
> While others chased short-term speculative hype.
> He dreamed of a permanent bridge to bring real-world stability to everyday crypto users.
> Left the security of Goldman Sachs in 2021.
> Walked away from the comfortable corporate life to build from the ground up.
> Founded Ondo Finance.
> While many founders were posting lifestyle updates and partying on yachts.
> He stayed in the background, quietly writing code, designing complex legal frameworks, and knocking on the doors of conservative institutions.
> Step by step, he integrated BlackRock, partnered with Coinbase, and scaled RWA on-chain.
> On May 25, 2026, the news came out.
> Passed away unexpectedly at 32.
> The peak of his youth.
> No public dramas, no controversies, no loud noise.
> Just a multi-billion-dollar system running without a single pause.
> Safe deposits, real yield distributed every second, not a single glitch.
> The builder is gone.
> But his bridge stands.
The Artemis II team did photography training and dry runs for moon pass-by with an inflatable moon.
Victor Glover said these practice runs completely changed how he understood importance of the mission.
Christina Koch wanted to “tell a story” and share the “awe and grandeur.”
@SeloSlav@normonics I like the analog, but there won’t be an orchestration class. Orchestration is code and the tooling will become accessible just like harnesses have evolved in our current state
earlier today my computer got compromised and every crypto wallet on it started draining.
no approvals. no metamask popups. just funds leaving.
this happened after i ran a github repo sent by a recruiter.
sharing the story so others don’t fall for it 👇
In the early days of computing, especially around systems like IBM mainframes, there weren’t thousands of blog posts explaining errors. There wasn’t even Google. If you wanted to learn, you read physical manuals thick printed books that came with the machine or the language. Languages like FORTRAN or COBOL shipped with binders full of documentation. That was your “tutorial.”
Most people learned in universities, research labs, or directly on the job. A senior programmer would literally sit beside you and teach you. It was mentorship and apprenticeship more than self-study. You didn’t watch a video rather you watched someone type.
Debugging was even tougher. There were no friendly error messages. Sometimes you wrote code on paper or punch cards, submitted the job, waited hours for it to run, and if one tiny mistake existed, the whole thing failed and you started over. That pain forced people to understand the system deeply. You couldn’t copy-paste; you had to know what every line did.
Communities still existed, just offline. People shared knowledge through textbooks, classroom notes, conferences, mailing lists, and user groups. You might wait weeks for answers instead of seconds. But because information was scarce, programmers read more, experimented more, and reverse-engineered a lot.
Ironically, many early developers became extremely strong problem solvers because they had no shortcuts. Today we search errors. Back then, they reasoned them out.
The most important thing when you're working with coding agents:
DO NOT DELEGATE YOUR THINKING
Not only will this make for worse code, but the muscle you developed that makes you valuable in society, that you fought so hard to improve, will wither and die.
Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade.
Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes.
It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.
@notparbez@jarredsumner Jared said the regression for Next workloads is most likely a bug. These other minor performance improvements will have large effects at scale given how widely used WebKit is. A few ms is huge still for these operations
